New software updates to be installed on the Vermont Digital Evidence Portal (VDEP) on August 11th

A new package of software updates is being installed on the Vermont Digital Evidence Portal (VDEP) on August 11th between 5:00 and 9:00 pm.

Some of the included updates will improve behind-scenes system functioning, and some will offer enhancements to what users see and the tools they have available. All users will have new advanced sorting/filtering options both in the Gallery and on their Court Hearings tab. Additionally, all users will have a tool for saving and sharing groups of exhibits from the Gallery to a shareable/downloadable .zip file.

These new features are described with screenshots in the VDEP Public User Guide:
